How to Prepare Healthy Creamy Nacho Cheese Sauce and Nachos [Vegan]
For the Cheese Sauce:
- The cheese sauce needs to be prepared before you make the nachos as you need to SOAK your cashews in hot water for at least 5-6 hours before you make the sauce. This will make sure that the cashews blend smoothly into a creamy cheese sauce.
- Once your cashews have soaked, drain the water out of them and add them to your blender.
- Along with your cashews, add the nutritional yeast, oat milk, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, and salt & pepper.
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed for 30 seconds and then mix everything around and blend them again until smooth.
- For a thicker cheese sauce, add less oat milk and for a thinner cheese sauce add more oat milk once you’ve blended the ingredients together.
For the Nachos:
- Make sure that you already have your vegan creamy cheese sauce ready.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F
- Prepare your guacamole by mashing your 2 avocados in a bowl and mixing them with a chopped tomato, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a sprinkle of coriander.
- Start arranging your tortilla crisps in your preferred order by layering your nacho dish with different layers of crisps and toppings.
- Start with a layer of tortilla crisps, followed by a layer of creamy sauce, salsa, and guacamole… then repeat until you’ve reached the top of the dish.
- Add some jalapenos on top of your nachos and place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes (here’s where you can add extra grated cheese if you want).
